Text Quotes
Galleries began growing in both number and size in the late seventies, when artists who worked in lofts wanted to exhibit their work in spaces similar to the ones the art was made in (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
I see 30 to 40 gallery shows a week, and no matter what kind of mood I'm in, no matter how bad the art is, I almost always feel better afterward. I can learn as much from bad art as from good (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
In art, scandal is a false narrative, a smoke screen that camouflages rather than reveals. When we don't know what we're seeing, we overreact (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
It's art that pushes against psychological and social expectations, that tries to transform decay into something generative, that is replicative in a baroque way, that isn't about progress, and wants to - as Walt Whitman put it - 'contain multitudes.' (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
John Currin's exaggerated realism and his twisted women kept me off balance, never knowing if they were sincere or ironic or some new emotion (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
Just as Pollock used the drip to meld process and product, Richter 'found' and used the smudge and the blur to ravish the eye, creating works of psychic and physical power (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
Kinkade estimated that one of his paintings hung in every twenty homes in America. Yet the art world unanimously ignores or reviles him. Me included (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
Koons's work has always stood apart for it's one at a time perfection, epic theatricality, a corrupted, almost sick drive for purification, and an obsession with traditional artistic values (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
Many say an art dealer running a museum is a 'conflict of interest.' But maybe the art world has lived an artificial or unintentional lie all of these years when it comes to conflicts of interest (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
My culture-deprived, aspirational mother dragged me once a month from our northern suburb - where the word art never came up - to the Art Institute of Chicago. I hated it (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
My nominee for Best Picture of the Year - maybe the best picture ever, because it's essentially made up of and is an ecstatic love letter to all other movies - is Christian Marclay's endlessly enticing must see masterpiece 'The Clock. ' (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
Now people look at 'The Scream' or Van Gogh's 'Irises' or a Picasso and see it's new content: money. Auction houses inherently equate capital with value (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
Of course art world ethics are important. But museums are no purer than any other institution or business. Academics aren't necessarily more high minded than gallerists (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
One argument goes that recessions are good for female artists because when money flies out the window, women are allowed in the house. The other claims that when money ebbs, so do prospects for women (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
Our culture now wonderfully, alchemically transforms images and history into artistic material. The possibilities seem endless and wide open (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
Outside museums, in noisy public squares, people look at people. Inside museums, we leave that realm and enter what might be called the group mind, getting quiet to look at art (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
Robert Rauschenberg was not a giant of American art; he was the giant. No American created so many aesthetic openings for so many artists (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
Summer is a great time to visit art museums, which offer the refreshing rinse of swimming pools - only instead of cool water, you immerse yourself in art (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
The art world is an all volunteer force. No one has to be here if he or she doesn't want to be, and we should be associating with anyone we want to (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
The art world is molting - some would say melting. Galleries are closing; museums are scaling back (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
The forties, seventies, and the nineties, when money was scarce, were great periods, when the art world retracted but it was also reborn (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
The greatest work of art about New York? The question seems nebulous. The city's magic and majesty are distilled in the photographs of Alfred Stieglitz and Paul Strand (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
The last time money left the art world, intrepid types maxed out their credit cards and opened galleries, and a few of them have become the best in the world (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
The Met is not only the finest encyclopedic museum of art in the United States; it is arguably the finest anywhere (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is unsurpassed at presenting more than 50 centuries of work. I go there constantly, seeing things over and over, better than I've ever seen them before (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
The New York art world readily proves people wrong. Just when folks say that things stink and flibbertigibbet critics wish the worst on us all because we're not pure enough, good omens appear (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
The price of a work of art has nothing to do with what the work of art is, can do, or is worth on an existential, alchemical level (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
The secret of food lies in memory - of thinking and then knowing what the taste of cinnamon or steak is (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
These days, newish art can be priced between $10,000 and $25,000. When I tell artists that a new painting by a newish artist should go for around $1,200, they look at me like I'm a flesh eating virus (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
To engage with art, we have to be willing to be wrong, venture outside our psychic comfort zones, suspend disbelief, and remember that art explores and alters consciousness simultaneously (Jerry Saltz Quotes)
